Sick, hot, or just ready to lay?

[HorseFeathers]

Hello-

Our 21 week old EE pullet, Lillith, has been acting strange the past few days. She spends most of her time in the coop, and when she comes out into the run she lies down. It's been kind of hot (lik 70-75 degrees F) so is she just hot? Mom (SeaChick) says sometimes birds will stay in the coop if they're not feeling well, so is she sick? Or (HOPEULLY) is this little gal ready to lay?

Thanks!

She shouldn't be hot enough to do that with that temp.

Are there any pecking issues going on? That's my first thought. Normally if we have pecking issues, the low (wo)man on the totem pole will stay in the barn away from the others.

not really. Another pullet just started egg squatting, hoping she'll lay soon!

Sounds like you need to keep an eye on her just in case she is sick.
